Claude API pricing has significant margin baked in. I think it's safe to assume that anthropic is getting 80% margin on their api and they are selling claude code for less than that.

I assumed I pay a premium for a Max account to not have to worry about api costs getting stuck in a forever loop.
You are not paying a premium for a max account. You are paying much less than what you would pay if you were using the api directly.
